Safer asynchronous workflows for GUI programming

published 702 days, 6 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by

http://tomaspetricek.pip.verisignlabs.com/ 706 days, 22 hours, 10 minutes ago

When writing reactive applications using F# asynchronous workflows, it is important to run some operations on the right thread. User interface elements are accessible only on GUI threads and CPU-intensive computations should be done on a background thread. This article describes an extension of F# asynchronous workflows that guarantees correct use of threads using types. (more)

Writing non-blocking user-interfaces in F#

published 708 days, 6 hours, 34 minutes ago posted by

http://tomaspetricek.pip.verisignlabs.com/ 709 days, 4 hours, 2 minutes ago

F# asynchronous workflows are mainly used for non-blocking I/O and concurrency, but they provide nice abstraction for writing user interface interactions. This article shows an Silverlight example and explains how F# makes it easy to write code that avoids blocking the user-interface when performing CPU-intensive processing. (more)

Update to the F# 2.0 Free Tools Release, Corresponding to Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (April 2011 CTP) - Fsharp Team

published 760 days, 3 hours, 55 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 761 days, 1 hour, 33 minutes ago

Today the F# team has released an update to the F# 2.0 Free Tools Release, last updated in August 2010. This is a relatively small update to bring our free tools release into line with Visual Studio 2010 SP1, announced by Jason Zander here. Visual Studio 2010 SP1 included a relatively small number of fixes to the F# 2.0 Compiler and Library (see the Visual Studio Team description of SP1). Perhaps more importantly, this release includes the core F# support to enable F# 2.0 development for Silverlight 4... (more)

Getting Started with FSharpChart - Fsharp Team - Keith Battocchi

Steves 766 days, 5 hours, 45 minutes ago

Hi, I'm Keith Battocchi, and I'm working on making it easier to use F# for data-rich programming. In my first blog post, I want to highlight some of the basic features of the FSharpChart wrappers that Don blogged about earlier this month. As Don mentioned, this library contains F#-friendly wrappers for the types in the System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting namespace, making it easy to interactively chart data from F# Interactive (see also the Chart Controls section of MSDN for further informa...

Joinads are a research extension of the F# language. They simplify conrurrent programming with tasks, reactive programming with events, but can be also used for other types of computations. This article introduces the extension, which is now available, based on the open-source source-drop of F#. (more)

Reactive, parallel and concurrent programming in F# (PADL 2011)

published 939 days, 18 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by

http://tomaspetricek.pip.verisignlabs.com/ 940 days, 15 hours, 58 minutes ago

This paper describes work that started during my internship at Microsoft Research in 2009. It presents a simple language extension for computation expressions that makes them even more useful in some reactive, concurrent and parallel programming models. Note that this is only a research project and there are currently no plans to support the extension in the F# language (although, if there will, eventually, be an open-source F# release, then you'll hear about the extension again...)

Visual Studio Keymaps using F# « Naveen's Blog

reshmi 1102 days, 7 hours, 23 minutes ago

I always try and avoid using mouse, for example even for browsing internet I don’t use mouse rather I use vimperator and within VS.NET I use ViEmu. So for VS.NET I am always looking for keyboard shortcuts for the things that I cannot do through ViEmu. To do that in VS.NET I would have jump through hoops to figure out a keyboard shortcut for a command, I would have to navigate to Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard, which is a pain. There is also a plugin for ReSharper to do the same. So I wanted somet... (more)

I saw this amazing video from Anders Hejlsberg on C# as Compiler service and after which, Miguel de lcaza from the Mono posted about their implementation of C# Compiler service. Thanks Miguel .The best part is ,it works out of the box in Windows on the Microsoft .NET code base. So here I am using Mono’s C# compiler code (Mono.CSharp.dll) within Microsoft .NET Code This is cool because we could use C# more like python. And what if VS.NET can be customized using C# based scripting ,like Lisp for Emacs. ... (more)
